Parts of Symphonie fantastique sound more early romantic to me. The third movement, for example. But I generally agree with you, Berlioz could have been a later romantic than his sound lets on.

I would choose the Romantic era, because when I first got started into classical music, I listened to composers from that era. However, through the influence of my Band teacher, I am starting to like Baroque music. Baroque music is so simplistic, yet it carries beauty!

This is a tough decision...... I would vote Romantic, then Baroque, then Classical. Maybe even 20th century...(I'm thinking of Sibelius...maybe he deserves his own category for the poll? =P)

Until again,
Zach

Actually anything before 1960 or the civil rights movement! Smack - did I say that? Shameful.

Sorry, all I hear in Atl is black rap music - I also makes me violent and want to go kill someone like the lyics say. I really need to invest in those Bose QC2 headphones.
